Can you trust the numbers in Wise Business?
Wise Business is an international business account for working in other currencies, used to pay bills, get paid and manage spending across currencies. Its own help pages give 4 reasons its numbers can look different from what you expect. The first to rule out: A statement can look short against your own records, because, as Wise's help pages say, it leaves out payments made with outside payment methods rather than a Wise balance.
Is it broken, or just counted differently?
A number can look wrong because the business changed, or because of how Wise Business counts it. Below is what Wise Business keeps, where its help pages say the numbers can differ, and how to check them yourself.
What does Wise Business keep track of?

How does Wise Business work with Feder?
Connect Wise Business to Feder and it joins your Money apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Wise Business.
When you connect Wise Business, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Questions owners ask about Wise Business
- Why is the money in my Wise Business account lower than I expected?Payouts in some currencies can take longer, so money in that currency can arrive later than you expect.
- Why did money come into my Wise Business account that wasn't from a sale?When a transfer you paid from a Wise balance is refunded, the money goes back to that balance, so it shows up as money coming in.
- Why did a payment arrive in my Wise Business account for less than was sent?If customers pay your USD account details by domestic wire, Wise takes a small fee to receive each one.

Know the day a number breaks, not the month after.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
